Ciało, podmiot i biomedialne interakcje
Body, Subject, and Biomedia Interactions

Summary/Abstract: Media are becoming increasingly close to bodies, and subjects, with the assistance of their bodies and senses, increasingly interactively and tacitly converse with the world with the assistance of media close to bodies. Also in this domain of links and relations two strategies of interactivity constitutive for digital media and the “revolution” inspired with their help: download and upload, clash. I would like to take a closer look at such relations by referring to the evolution of media technologies, their interfaces and usage protocols as well as communication practices that regulate our cultural positions of media closeness and tactility. In doing so I shall make use of examples of media interacting with the skin and of interface practices realised with the assistance of Tik-Tok, seeking within them a materialisation of the strategy of mediation and tactility, cognitive distance and material proximity. I am convinced that the solidification of media strategies realised in this manner involves testing and stabilising ground for experiences up to now evading dominating rules of the media and communication game. We enter biomedia formats and, together with them, post-communication processes.
